its continuing effort to reduce public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Standardized National Hypothesis
Generating Questionnaire (OMB Control
No. 0920–0997, Exp. 2/29/2020)—
Revision—National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
(NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
It is estimated that each year roughly
one in six Americans get sick, 128,000
are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of
foodborne diseases. CDC and partners
ensure rapid and coordinated
surveillance, detection, and response to
multistate outbreaks, to limit the
number of illnesses, and to learn how to
prevent similar outbreaks from
happening in the future.
Conducting interviews during the
initial hypothesis-generating phase of
multistate foodborne disease outbreaks
presents numerous challenges. In the
U.S. there is not a standard, national
form or data collection system for
illnesses caused by many enteric
pathogens. Data elements for hypothesis
generation must be developed and
agreed upon for each investigation. This
process can take several days to weeks
and may cause interviews to occur long
after a person becomes ill.

developed through a series of working
groups comprised of local, state, and
federal public health partners.
Since the last revision of the SNHGQ
in 2016, ORPB has investigated over 700
multistate foodborne and enteric
clusters of infection involving over
26,000 ill people. Of which, an outbreak
vehicle has been identified in 200 of
these investigations. These outbreaks
have led to over 50 recalls and countless
regulatory actions that have removed
millions of pounds of contaminated
vehicles out of commerce. In almost all
instances, the SNHGQ or iterations of
the SNHGQ have been instrumental in
the successful investigation of these
outbreaks. The questionnaire has
allowed investigators to more efficiently
and effectively interview ill persons as
they are identified. Because these
exposures are captured in a common,
standard format, we have been able to
share and analyze data rapidly across
jurisdictional lines. Faster interview
response and analysis times have
allowed for more rapid epidemiologic
investigation and quicker regulatory
action, thus helping to prevent
thousands of additional illnesses from
occurring and spurring industry to
adopt and implement new food safety
measures in an effort to prevent future
outbreaks.
The total estimated annualized
burden for the Standardized National
Generating Questionnaire is 3,000 hours
(approximately 4,000 individuals
identified during the hypothesisgenerating phase of outbreak
investigations with 45 minutes/
response). There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

CDC requests a revision to this project
to collect standardized information,
called the Standardized National
Hypothesis-Generating Questionnaire
(SNHGQ), from individuals who have
become ill during a multistate
foodborne disease event. Since the
questionnaire is designed to be
administered by public health officials
as part of multistate hypothesisgenerating interview activities, this
questionnaire is not expected to entail
significant burden to respondents.
The Standardized National
Hypothesis-Generating Core Elements
Project was established with the goal to
define a core set of data elements to be
used for hypothesis generation during
multistate foodborne investigations.
These elements represent the minimum
set of information that should be
available for all outbreak-associated
cases identified during hypothesis
generation. The core elements would
ensure that similar exposures would be
ascertained across many jurisdictions,
allowing for rapid pooling of data to
improve the timeliness of hypothesisgenerating analyses and shorten the
time to pinpoint how and where
contamination events occur.
The Standardized National
Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire
was designed as a data collection tool
for the core elements, to be used when
a multistate cluster of enteric disease
infections is identified. The
questionnaire is designed to be
administered over the phone by public
health officials to collect core elements
data from case-patients or their proxies.

Background and Brief Description
The Laboratory Response Network
(LRN) was established by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in
accordance with Presidential Decision
Directive 39 (Attachment 1), which
outlined national anti-terrorism policies
and assigned specific missions to
Federal Departments and agencies. The
Administration has stated that it is the
policy of the United States to use all
appropriate means, to deter, defeat, and
respond to all terrorist attacks on our
territory and resources, both with
people and facilities. The LRN’s mission
is to maintain an integrated national and
international network of laboratories
that can respond quickly to suspected
acts of biological, chemical, or
radiological terrorism, emerging
infectious diseases, and other public
health threats and emergencies.
Federal, state and local public health
laboratories join the LRN voluntarily.
When laboratories join, they assume
specific responsibilities and are
required to provide facility information
to the LRN Program Office at CDC as
well as test results for real samples or
proficiency tests. LRN laboratories
participate in Proficiency Testing
Challenges, Exercises and Validation
Studies each year. LRN information
collection is covered by OMB Control
No. 0920–0852.
CDC may conduct a Special Data Call
to obtain additional information from
LRN laboratories regarding biological
terrorism or emerging infectious disease
preparedness. Although the LRN
Program Office at CDC has an extensive
database of information regarding all
network members, LRN Special Data
Calls are sometimes needed to address
issues concerning the response
capabilities of member facilities for
priority threat agents or to assess the
network’s ability to respond to new
emerging threats. Special Data Calls may
be conducted via broadcast email that
asks respondents to send information
via email to the LRN Help Desk or
through online survey tools (i.e., Survey
Monkey) which require respondents to
go to a web link and answer a series of
questions (Attachment 3). This request
for extension is a generic clearance that
is necessary for any impromptu data
calls that are needed.
